The 0-fer speaks! GameThread: M's must fight off The Bubonic Plague today.

Post by rockycola » Sat Sep 24, 2022 3:27 pm

Will Cy Young candidate Kris Bubonic dazzle today? Seems like most MLB pitchers of Plague's caliber wipe the M's plate clean.
The Bubonic brings his stellar 2-13, 5.81 e.r.a., 96 K's (tied for 104th in mlb) record so should dominate Seattle, right?
In the last 7 days alone he is sporting a 16.88 e.r.a.
The "Sinking Ship Mariners" (hope their rubber duck life raft doesn't spring a leak) counter with with the 13-6, 3.13 e.r.a., 167 K's Logan Gilbert.

The game today starts at 4:10 P.M. in Kansas City.

With Julio going on the IL, Trammel has been recalled. Will he and Kelenic, both left-handed, start in the outfield against the LH Bubonic? Doubtful; it'll probably be Haggerty, Winker and JK.

If SS wants to go with a RH lineup, we'll probably see Toro at 3rd, Ty back at 1st and SH Santana at DH. Will Torrens get the nod at 2B? Will Casali be behind the plate to give Cal a breather? Lineups later; feel free to post them when they come out.

The last pertinent questions is this: Will Rockycola finally get his first W in the GTC? I'm officially eliminated from the WPT as of yesterday. Maybe one of my legendary win streaks is about to manifest to bring the M's to a sizzling finish to the season to propel us into the post season.

You need to go 12-0 to beat me. Good luck!

Wow, if you had 94 instead of 95 in the win prediction contest 12-0 would have also won you that one. :shock:

Looks like the kind of pitcher that no-hits us into the sixth inning

Don't care if I beat you, just want the M's to win and go into the postseason on a high note.

That's why I said we were facing the Cy Young candidate, Mr. Bubonic Plague.

Need to bounce on him tout de suite for a dozen runs.

I like the sound of that and I like our chances today.
